Bath repair at your home in Pylle
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Pylle: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Pylle?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Pylle
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pylle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pylle as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
